- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wonderful! Very practical, and useful, personally applicable.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good information on becoming a successful person. Covey covers habits that can help anyone in either their personal or professional life. The only issues I have with the book is the use of metaphors, anecdotes, and the over-all verbosity. I would have appreciate the book more as a tool if he had kept it simple.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great book on how to live the good life. The principles really get to the heart of the human experience and go beyond quick and easy measures to increase one's productivity. If you want to maintain a happy, peaceful balanced life in an increasingly chaotic world, then this book is for you.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A great book. It invites us to think deeply about our goal in life and cultivate habits that will aid us in achieving it across all our life roles.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Summary: Let's face it. Apply every true principle in this book and you can't help but be living life to it's very fullest. This book will be just as true and important 100 years from now as it is today.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is not a quick fix book. I will take time and focus for any of the advice given in the book to make big changes. That said I've just finished the book and noticed some positive changes in myself.
This book does have "buzzwords" that other reviews have complained about but that is because the book made them that way. People just repeat the words instead of doing the hard work.
This book does have one flaw the writer talks about not projecting your paradigms on others Covey forgot that not all his readers will be Christian.
